Courses

The “founder of all artificial canoe slalom courses”, the Augsburg ‘Ice channel’ and canoe slalom stadium with a capacity of 20.000 spectators, has been the idea and model for the numerous canoe courses built all over the world.

Whitewater rapids below the dam are world renowned for kayaking and canoeing and have been the site for national and international paddling events. Most of the time competitions are held at Rock Island, on the Caney Fork River at Great Falls just below the powerhouse.

The Water Sports Centre Čunovo is an artificial whitewater slalom course in Slovakia, on an island in the Danube river, 14 km southeast of Bratislava, near the village of Čunovo. It is powered by flow diversion from the Čunovo dam.

On river left this is a big breaking wave, which makes numerous moves possible: flat spins, blunts, 360s, enders, pirouettes and when the water level is ideal even cartwheels. On river right you'll find a smooth wave: great surfing for everyone.
